Pequignet Moorea Triomphe Watches
Pequi-what? PequiGNET! You likely haven't heard of this brand as they haven't even looked in the direction of the US yet (as far as I know), but this France-based watch maker is one you should know about. They have a range of pieces with some unique styles. Some are their interpretations of other popular look, but all seem to have pretty nice values. Pequignet is also a true manufacture, and makes some of their own movements. For the rest they use Swiss-made ETA movements.First, the problems.

Basel World 2012: Introducing The Tissot Heritage PR 516
This is a great looking new introduction for BaselWorld 2012 from Tissot.? The Heritage PR516 is a throwback to the PR 516 from the 1960s and 70s, one of Tissot's most favored vintage pieces.? To be specific, the Heritage PR516 is actually an homage to the Tissot Seastar PR 516 GL - and this new piece retains the same dial markings as the original.Sized at 40mm with a sapphire caseback (notice the rotor?) the Heritage PR516 will be available in steel or PVD gold and on either a leather racing strap or a steel big-hole bracelet as seen in the picture.?We don't have word on pricing yet, but it will be between $500 and $1000. FYI: If you like the looks of this new Tissot but prefer something vintage, we found an original Tissot PR 516 in NOS condition right here (no affiliation with seller).

Ready to buy an Omega
Hello all--Like most of you in the forum, my love of wristwatches has led me here and I am ready to buy my first Omega. Have checked out my local AD here in my province, and they appear pretty firm on their MSRP's (-10%)--there is not a lot of competition here.I am looking abroad for a competitive price on the PO 2200.50 or a Speedy Pro--am also considering a used or NOS 2254 (if they still exist). I am hearing about a lot of AD's Stateside that are willing to deal. Anyone out there who can point me in the right direction?BTW--thanks to all for the information that I have been able to pick up here.Dan
